San Francisco Bike Tour + Alcatraz
Alcatraz Cruise
At the selected time, you must go to Pier 33 in San Francisco, where the boat will be waiting to take you to Alcatraz Island.
After a 15-minute cruise, you'll have two and a half hours of free time to tour this former prison where Al Capone himself was incarcerated. During the visit, you'll enjoy an audio guide in English to discover the history of this prison also known as The Rock.
Paranormal events, deaths, and an infamous escape are part of the past of Alcatraz, which was active between 1934 and 1963. You'll discover all the details as you walk through its courtyards, cells, and wards - it'll give you goosebumps!
After the visit, you will hop back on the boat and return to Pier 33.
San Francisco Bay Bike Tour
If you want to explore the San Francisco Bay, we'll meet at 10 am at Taylor Street and from there we'll go to Fisherman's Wharf, where we'll start an entertaining bike tour. We'll pedal along the coast, checking out the sea lions that inhabit the bay as well as the wind organs and the old military fort of San Francisco.
The tour will take us directly to the famous Golden Gate Bridge, the undisputed symbol of the Californian city and a sight that we're sure you won't be able to resist taking photos of. We'll cross the imposing orange bridge until we reach Sausalito, a charming fishing town known for its houseboats.
Finally, we'll board a ferry that will take us back to the pier. We'll finish the tour between 12 and 1 pm.
San Francisco Bike Rental
If you'd prefer to explore the city at your own pace, then you can choose the option that includes a bike rental. In this case, you'll have to pick up your bike at 2661 Taylor St. between 9 am and 6:30 pm. You can enjoy riding the bike all day long and return it at the end of the afternoon, after seeing all the must-see sights. Let's get pedalling!
